Nico Habermann Award Winner for devoting nearly two decades to promoting diversity and Editors: inclusiveness in computing. She has worked with and supported a wide variety of students including women, people with disabilities, and various Carla Ellis, Duke University age groups ranging from K-12 to graduate students. Amanda Stent, Bloomberg Carol has contributed valuable research towards understanding the challenges diverse populations face, and in many ways, her research has challenged the existing narrative in the field. And it’s had impact: 48% of computer science majors in the 2016 incoming freshman class at CMU are women, far above the national average. Carol’s work towards improving diversity and inclusion in computing goes well beyond advocacy. She has shared her knowledge with others by developing teacher resources, books, and course materials. She also participates in conferences and other programs including CRA- W’s Collaborative Research Experiences for Undergraduates (CREU) program. Carol’s nomination letters attest that she played an important role in creating an inclusive environment at CMU, and her research can help others learn best practices and insights to help spread this type of progress beyond her home institution to the entire community. www.cra-w.org @CRAWomen Interview with Lori Clarke My current research is primarily focused on improving medical Interviewed by Carla Ellis, Duke University safety and builds on these past contributions.

Ritchie Doctoral Dissertation Award. SIGOPS has lonG been lackinG a doctoral dissertation award, such as those offered by SIGCOMM, Eurosys, SIGPLAN, and SIGMOD. This new award fills this Gap and also honors the contributions to computer science that Dennis Ritchie made durinG his life. With this award, ACM SIGOPS will encouraGe the creativity that Ritchie embodied and provide a reminder of Ritchie's leGacy and what a difference a person can make in the field of software systems research. The award is funded by AT&T Research and Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs, companies that both have a strong connection to AT&T Bell Laboratories where Dennis Ritchie did his seminal work.

    SIGOPS Annual Report 2011 Fiscal Year July 2010-June 2011 Submitted by Doug Terry, SIGOPS Chair Overview SIGOPS is a vibrant community of people with interests in “operating systems” in the broadest sense, including topics such as distributed computing, storage systems, security, concurrency, middleware, mobility, virtualization, networking, cloud computing, datacenter software, and Internet services. We sponsor a number of top conferences, provide travel grants to students, present yearly awards, disseminate information to members electronically, and collaborate with other SIGs on important programs for computing professionals. Notable activities from the past year include: Elections were held for new officers, and Jeanna Matthews was elected as the new SIGOPS Chair, George Candea as Vice Chair, and Dilma da Silva as Treasurer. They will serve two-year terms from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2013. The past officers (Doug Terry as Chair, Frank Bellosa as Vice Chair and Jeanna Matthews as Treasurer) completed their 4 years of service on June 30. Planning for the next ACM Symposium on Operating Systems (SOSP), which is scheduled for October 2011 in Cascais, Portugal, has been largely completed by Ted Wobber, the General Chair, and Peter Druschel, the Program Chair. The Second ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing (SOCC), which is co-sponsored between SIGOPS and SIGMOD, is being co-located with SOSP in Portugal. The first SIGOPS Asia-Pacific Workshop on Systems (APSys) was held on August 30, 2010 in New Delhi, India, immediately before the SIGCOMM 2010 conference. And the second instance of this workshop is being held in Shanghai, China, in July 2011. ACM released the first version of the Cloud Computing Tech Pack, which was produced by Doug Terry, the SIGOPS Chair.

ACM has a core constituency with an interest in Logic and Computation (L&C), witnessed by 1 The many Turing Awards for work centrally in L&C 2 The ACM journal Transactions on Computational Logic 3 Several long-running conferences like LICS, CADE, CAV, ICLP, RTA, CSL, TACAS, and MFPS, and super-conferences like FLoC and ETAPS SIGLOG explores the connections between logic and computing covering theory, semantics, analysis, and synthesis. SIGLOG delivers value to its membership through the coordination of conferences, journals, newsletters, awards, and educational programs. SIGLOG enjoys significant synergies with several existing SIGs. Natarajan Shankar SIGLOG 2/9 Logic and Computation: Early Foundations Logicians like Alonzo Church, Kurt G¨odel, Alan Turing, John von Neumann, and Stephen Kleene have played a pioneering role in laying the foundation of computing. In the last 65 years, logic has become the calculus of computing underpinning the foundations of many diverse sub-fields.
